It’s Matt Damon week at the Film Group, as we screen two very different films starring the actor, along with a KICK-ASS double bill and a re-screening of the 1997 sci-fi classic GATTACA! • Tue 15 Oct @ 8 PM: BEHIND THE CANDELABRA A behind-the-scenes look at the tempestuous and secret relationship between flamboyant entertainer Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his younger lover (Matt Damon). Directed by Steven Soderbergh. (Note: this film replaces THE BLING RING, which was originally scheduled for this date and time.) • Fri 18 Oct @ 8 PM: ELYSIUM followed by GATTACA In ELYSIUM, the wealthy live on a man-made space station while the poor reside on a ruined Earth. A desperate man (Matt Damon again!) takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarised worlds. Then, in GATTACA (at approx. 10 PM), a genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel in this sci-fi classic starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law. • Sat 19 Oct @ **7 PM**: KICK-ASS followed by KICK-ASS 2 Revel in the ultra-violent, foul-mouthed mayhem of the KICK-ASS films as we screen both films back to back! In KICK-ASS, an ordinary teenager (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) with no powers sets out to become a real-life superhero. Naming himself Kick-Ass, he teams up with fellow costumed vigilantes Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) to take down a local drug lord. Then, in KICK-ASS 2 (at approx. 9 PM), Kick-Ass discovers that he has inspired a new wave of masked crusaders and joins forces with an ex-mobster (Jim Carrey) to form a superhero team. Unknown to him, an enemy from his past is assembling his own evil league of supervillains.
